In the IB inspector, I'd like to set a button's key equivalent to be ESC. I can't get it to work. Any ideas? -- Dan Grillo grio@cs.psu.edu [NeXTmail, PrivateMail, MIME welcome]

You could subclass the Window object, override the keyDown: method, and turn ESC into some command- key. -- ................................................................simson

I should have been more explict. A button in a _Panel_ can have a key equivalent that is not a command key. Keys like "d" and "." work fine. I was hoping there was a way to use ESC, without subclassing Panel. --Dan -- Dan Grillo grio@cs.psu.edu [NeXTmail, PrivateMail, MIME welcome]

From Chapter 3 of the UI Guidelines:
For UNIX compatibility, the Esc key is used to complete
file names (as described in the following section). It
should not be used any other way in the user interface.

They tell you not to do this. They've made it difficult for you
to circumvent. Must you be so obstinate?

(Yes, it will.)
Why do you think they erected a fence there?
(Because some people don't read.)
